From the outside looking in, the lifestyle of a celebrity is something to envy and aspire for. The many mansions in each country and state, the luxurious multi-million dollar cars, fine dining, expensive jewellery that needs it's own security guard, the money and the fame. All of this is what the average person dreams about, but to the people who live in this world of glitz and glamour; all of this can become a headache... especially the fame.
For celebs like Miley Cyrus, the spotlight isn't always a warm place to be. Starting of has Disney's sweetheart in the hit television show Hannah Montana, Miley was always seen as the sweet little 11 year old who was perfect and always did the right thing. Which at the time was true, but just like any other pre-teen growing up and experiencing life, things started to changed.
Remember when we all go through that awkward stage in life when puberty started to hit, our body changed and we discovered the opposite sex? Well everyday average kids going through that at home in private, but for Miley Cyrus and several other child stars she through all of that and more in the public eye.
She went from singing songs about best friends, having fun in the summertime and telling little girls that their beautiful no matter what to singing about breaking free from the good girl image, expectations that the media has put on her and relationships which gave her more of a sexualised image.
After releasing her third studio album Can't Be Tamed and going on tour, Miley received a lot of media criticism from her outfits that were deemed too provocative and lyrics that seemed selfish by the media, but that wasn't the image she was aiming to portrait. When receiving criticism for the music video to the single Can't Be Tamed, Miley stated "I think the video explains my life but it doesn't exclude other people's lives. It's not just about how fabulous and glamorous and all this. It's about the core of 'I don't wanna be in a cage. I want to be free and do what I love'"
As teenagers get older and go through new life experiences they express themselves in forms of dramatic makeovers, listening to a different genre of music, rebelling against school and their parents etc. Miley Cyrus back then was a teenager growing up as well. Not only did she go through all of these normal teenage behaviour in the spotlight, but she also expressed herself through was she loved to do, music.
She was being judged by the media and parents of children that looked up to her, for being a teenager. For growing up and learning from her mistakes. She is not here to raise your children. There's no need for her to continue portraying that 11 year old girl, that she's not anymore. There is no need to constantly judge someone for going through life like you did. So before you open your mouth to judge anyone, just stop and think about when you were a teenage.
